Crime is a serious problem in Britain. One sort of crime which particularly worries people is juvenile crime—that is, crimes committed by young people. For some years, juvenile crime has been increasing. There are two main sorts of juvenile crime：stealing and violence. Most people do not understand why young people commit these crimes. There are, I think, a large number of different reasons.

These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need. Young people often dislike and hate the adult world. They will do things to show that they are rebels. Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like.

There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning. More and more people in Britain live in large towns. In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live. But in the village I come from crimes are rare because everyone knows everybody else.

Although it is difficult to explain, I think the last cause is very important. Perhaps there is something wrong with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact that all the crime children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence. Many people don’t agree that this influences young people, but I think that young people are very much influenced by the society they grow up in. I feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people.

How many causes of juvenile crime are mentioned in the text? 

A. two.     B. three      C. four      D. five

According to the passage which young group from Britain is least likely to commit crimes?

B. the people who commit crimes are not punished severely

C. some criminals escaped being punished

D. social environment has a bad effect on young people

Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the seasons and crime patterns.

The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. What is the most uncriminal month of all? May — except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.

60. The main idea of paragraph 1 is _________.

A. crime is a serious social problem

B. there is a link between changes in the seasons and crime patterns

C. crime is not linked to the changes in the seasons

D. 2,400 towns were studied for five years

61. The subject of paragraph 2 is __________.

A. Summer crime   B. burglary   C. murder     D. nighttime crime

62. According to the passage, a murder would most likely occur _______.

A. on a weekend night in winter

B. on a weekend afternoon in summer

C. on a Saturday night

D. on a weekend night in summer

63. In paragraph 2 “it is also a nighttime crime,” “it” refers to _________.

A. murder      B. 62 percent     C. weekend crime       D. dog bite

Your cellphone holds secrets about you. Besides the names and numbers that you’ve programmed into it, traces of your DNA remain on it, according to a new study.

DNA is genetic material that appears in every cell. Like your fingerprint, your DNA is unique to you-unless you have an identical twin. Scientists today usually analyze DNA in blood, saliva(唾液), or hair left behind at the scene of a crime. The results often help detectives identify criminals and victims.

Meghan J. McFadden, a biologist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, heard about a crime in which the suspect bled onto a cellphone and later dropped it. This made her wonder whether traces of DNA remained on cellphones-even when no blood was involved. To find out, she and a colleague collected flip-style(翻蓋式) phones from 10 volunteers. They collected invisible traces of the users from two parts of the phone: the outside, where the user holds it, and the speaker, which is placed at the user’s ear.

The scientists cleaned the phones using a liquid mixture made mostly of alcohol. The aim of washing was to remove all delectable traces of DNA. The owners got their phones back for another week. Then they returned the phones and the researchers collected traces on each phone once more. They discovered DNA that belonged to the phone’s owner on each of the phones.

Surprisingly, DNA was even picked up immediately after the phones were cleaned. That suggests that washing won’t remove all traces of evidence from a criminal’s cellphone. So cellphones can be added to the list of clue the can settle a crime-scene investigation.

68. What’s the main idea of the passage?

       A. The cellphone means most secrets of its owner.

       B. McFadden is famous for her secrets of its owner.

       C. The investigation of a crime is a hard job.

       D. DNA can be available on the user’s cellphone.

69. In a crime-scene investigation, now experts are likely to turn to      .

       A. the criminal’s fingerprint                              B. the DNA analysis of physical items

       C. the detectives                                               D. the criminal’s cellphone

70. According to the passage, McFadden was inspired by      .

       A. the secrets stored in people’s cellphones          B. the special characters of DNA  

       C. a cellphone-involved case                              D. the challenging job of detectives

71. According to the passage, the potential application of the new study would be      .

       A. identifying criminals                                    B. designing new cellphones

       C. protecting individual privacy                         D. preventing cellphone-involved crime
